I am another turning point in my road of life.

I had the mole on my face removed yesterday. I was freaking nervous about it and now that it's over I'm better but still feel a little odd. Almost like I'm off balance. In a weird way I am losing a small part of my identity that I've had for so long.

Do I think getting rid of this mole will make me more attractive? That's pretty steep of an expectation on something actually quite small in the grand scheme of things.

And the healing process is going to take way longer than I realized. The "dressing" they put on my face I've already taken off. Now I have an ugly ass band-aid covering the wound which this will last for like 3 weeks. Just lovely! :P

When can I face the public again? Ha, ha. I already did right after the procedure which was terribly embarrassing. "Michelle! What's that on your....wait, nevermind". Thanks coop student for pointing out the obvious.

I'm really enjoying the fullness of life right now. I don't remember feeling this happy about life in..well, I think ever. And in fullness I mean letting life flow and being more carefree. Going out frequently with friends and trying new things I've never done before. My last two weekends have been insanely nice but in a way that's just keeping me smiling.

Last week recap
-Thursday night dinner out with my friend Bob
-Friday was quiet, relatively.
-Saturday was Tim & Roe's wedding in Listowel
-Sunday I spent the day in Niagara Falls with my friend Jenn
-Monday I relaxed for a while then went for dinner with my friend Rachael and then we played a couple rounds at Dooley's.

This weekend recap
-Friday night was out with my friend Dee, her sister and their cousin to "Dallas" in Kitchener
-Saturday I spent most of the day painting the living room upstairs. Then in the evening it was movies with Rachael which also then included watching UFC at Crabby Joe's in Cambridge (where I ran into an old friend from high school/youth group/college - talk about an added bonus!)
-Sunday was church in the am, church hike in the early pm and than a bbq in the evening.

Can we say that I've officially became a social butterfly?

It's such a contrast to last year and I LOVE it. God has blessed me with such good friends, building relationships and a good life. I've changed a lot in the last year and I think that has been pivotal in why my life is the way it is now.

There is still things I need to work on. There are things I still wish for in life but right now, I'm resting in my current joy...the joy the Father has given me.
